Across India, as Christmas approaches, Christian families craft handmade star-shaped lanterns. These beautiful pieces represent shining God’s light to the world, something even more special to Indian Christians, who make up less than 3% of the population. Download a pattern<\/a> you can use to make them with your family.<\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/h2>\n
\n
Star pattern<\/a> (5 copies)<\/li>\n
Scissors<\/li>\n
Markers, crayons, or colored pencils<\/li>\n
Hole punch<\/li>\n
Glue or tape<\/li>\n
Ribbon<\/li>\n
1 hanging fairy light<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to make an Indian Christmas star:<\/h2>\n
1. Cut out each piece along the solid lines. Color and decorate each piece however you’d like.<\/p>\n
2. Fold each along the dotted lines.<\/p>\n
3. Bring the sides together, and tape or glue them to form a cone-like piece that will be one point of the star. Repeat for the other four points.<\/p>\n
4. Glue the tabs together so that they’ll sit on the inside of the lantern. Leave the last two open to insert the light, if desired.<\/p>\n
5. Punch a hole about halfway up each side of the two points that will be at the top of the star.<\/p>\n
6. Cut ribbon to desired hanging length, thread through each hole, and tie a knot at the top where it will hang from, so it forms a triangle.<\/p>\n
7. Insert the fairy light into the opening between the two top points.<\/p>\n
8. Hang your star, plug in the fairy light, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
